National League roundup …
WASHINGTON ó Cole Hamels pitched into the eighth inning and Jimmy Rollins drove in two runs as Philadelphia snapped Washington’s seven-game winning streak with a 4-0 victory Tuesday night.
Hamels (12-8) gave up five hits in 71/3 innings, striking out six and walking three.
Rollins had two RBI singles and a walk for the Phillies, who began the day two games behind first-place New York in NL East.
J.C. Romero, Chad Durbin and Brad Lidge finished the six-hitter. The Nationals have been shut out 20 times, seven more than any other major league team.
Washington’s winning streak was its longest since a 10-game run in 2005.
John Lannan (8-13) gave up two runs and five hits in six innings.
Braves 16, Marlins 14
MIAMI ó Pinch-hitter Ruben Gotay had an RBI double in the ninth inning and Atlanta spoiled a seven-run rally by Florida.
Kelly Johnson had four hits and four RBIs, and Omar Infante had four hits and two RBIs for the Braves, who had a season-high in runs. Atlanta, which snapped a four-game losing streak, scored 14 runs against Cincinnati on May 4.
Alfredo Amezega had a career-high five RBIs for the Marlins, who have not won consecutive games since July 30-31.
The game featured 30 runs, 36 hits and 14 pitchers. Florida came back from a 10-3 deficit to take a 13-10 lead, and had it held, it would have been by far the biggest comeback win this season for Florida. The Marlins had rallied from three-run deficits five times this season.
With the score tied at 14 in the ninth, Gotay singled in Martin Prado for the go-ahead run. Johnson added an RBI single off reliever Matt Lindstrom (3-3).
Mike Gonzalez pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in as many chances.
Mets 6, Brewers 5, 10 innings.
MILWAUKEE ó Carlos Beltran hit a three-run homer, Endy Chavez drove in the decisive run in the 10th inning and the New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5 Tuesday night thanks to a stellar effort from their much-maligned bullpen.
Six relievers combined for seven shutout innings, helping the NL East leaders remain two games ahead of second-place Philadelphia. The Mets improved to 5-2 on their eight-game road trip against playoff contenders, winning for the 16th time in 21 games overall.
Pirates 3, Reds 2
CINCINNATI ó Rookies Brandon Moss and Andy LaRoche hit back-to-back home runs to help Pittsburgh snap a 10-game losing streak.
The home runs were the 30th and 31st homers allowed by Cincinnati starter Aaron Harang (4-15).
